3rd Congressional District Democratic Primary Arts & Culture Voter Guide Dear Arts Advocate, Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District—covering much of Philadelphia, including West Philadelphia and parts of North and South Philadelphia—will be on the ballot in the Primary Election on Tuesday, May 19. With Representative Dwight Evans not seeking reelection, voters will help choose new leadership for this important seat in Congress. To help keep the arts and culture community informed ahead of the election, the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance invited the four Democratic primary candidates to respond to a questionnaire focused on federal issues impacting artists, cultural organizations, creative workers, and the communities they serve. Explore the Cultural Alliance’s Arts & Culture Voter Guide and learn where candidates stand on issues shaping the future of the creative sector. | |
Why This Matters: Our Congressional representatives play a critical role in determining federal funding levels for agencies such as the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), along with other federal programs that directly impact arts, culture, humanities, and heritage communities. Your vote will help shape the future of federal arts and culture policy. Looking Ahead: You can rely on the Cultural Alliance for trusted election resources and advocacy updates that impact the creative sector. An additional voter guide will be published ahead of the General Election in November, covering key local, state, and federal races. Have additional questions about the Primary Election, the ballot, or where to vote? Our partners at Committee of Seventy have an Interactive Voter Guide that has statewide and county-wide information across all 67 counties in the state. | |
